Introduction: Welcome to walllet.com (“walllet”), a smart contract-based non-custodial wallet service provided by PrimeUp LTD (UAE) (“Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data.

This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) explains how walllet (our wallet app, website, and related services) collects, uses, discloses, and safeguards information in the course of offering our Services. We aim to follow privacy best practices of data minimization and transparency.

Important note: At this stage of our service, walllet does not require users to provide personally identifying information (PII) such as your name, address, or government ID to use the core wallet features. We have designed walllet as a privacy-preserving, non-custodial wallet that collects only the data necessary to operate the Service. However, some technical data and analytics information may be collected as described below. By using walllet, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this Policy. In regions where consent is required (e.g., EEA/UK), we do not activate non-essential analytics or attribution (including GA4, PostHog, and AppsFlyer web attribution) until you provide consent via our cookie banner.

This Policy applies to information collected through our mobile application, website (walllet.com), and any other services or interactions you have with walllet (collectively, the “Services”). It should be read alongside our Terms of Service and other applicable policies (such as our Cookie Policy).

For clarity, if walllet’s app or site integrates third-party services (such as analytics), data handling by those third parties is governed by their respective privacy policies, as described in Section 6 of this Policy. We act as the data controller for any personal data we directly collect and process, meaning we determine the purposes and means of such processing.

If you have any questions about this Policy or your data, please contact us at: [email protected].

1. Information We Collect

We endeavor to collect only the minimal information necessary to provide and improve our Services. Broadly, we may collect information in the following categories:

A. Information You Provide Directly: Currently, walllet does not require registration with personal details. You do not need to provide a name, username, email address, or phone number to create or use a walllet. We do not collect any seed phrases, private keys, or passkey credentials from you – those remain on your device and are never sent to us. However, you may choose to provide certain information in specific contexts:

  • Support or Communication: If you contact us for support or feedback (e.g., via email or an in-app chat using our support tool, such as Intercom), you may provide us with your email address, name, or details about your issue. We will use this information solely to assist you and will not retain it longer than necessary.

  • Surveys or Beta Programs: We might offer optional user surveys, beta testing sign-ups, or referral programs where you can choose to provide an email or other contact info. Participation in these is voluntary, and any data provided will be used only for the stated purpose (e.g., to send you beta access or gather feedback).

We emphasize that the core functionality of walllet does not involve collecting personal identifiers – you can download the app and use it without providing any personal data like email or name. Many users will remain pseudonymous (identified only by wallet addresses) from our perspective.

B. Information Collected Automatically: When you use walllet (either the mobile app or the website), certain information is collected automatically about your device and usage of the Service. This data may include:

  • Device and Technical Information: We may collect device identifiers and technical information such as your device model, operating system type and version, browser type (for web usage), and device language settings. For mobile app users, this might include an anonymous device ID or push notification token (which does not reveal your identity but helps deliver notifications).

  • IP Address: Our servers (or third-party providers like AWS) may temporarily receive your device’s IP address when you interact with the Services. However, we do not log or store IP addresses linked to your usage in a personally identifiable way. Any IP processing is transient – for example, to route your request to the nearest server or apply geographic controls (such as compliance with regional restrictions). We do not use IP for tracking individual users, and we take measures to anonymize or discard IP data promptly after use.

  • Usage Data: We collect information on how you interact with walllet, such as the features you use, pages or screens viewed, actions taken (e.g., initiated a swap or connected to a dApp), and timestamps of activities. This information is generally collected in aggregate or anonymized form and helps us understand usage patterns to improve the Service. For instance, we might track that “Feature X was used by 30% of active users this week” without knowing who those users are. We may use analytics tools (like Google Analytics for web or similar analytics for app) that provide us with this aggregated usage data. Such tools might use cookies or mobile SDKs – please see our Cookie Policy for details on analytics cookies and how to opt-out.

  • Log Information: Our servers may automatically maintain logs of certain events and errors. These logs can include the above device information, usage events, and error reports (which help us troubleshoot problems). They do not deliberately contain personal user identity data, but may include technical identifiers (like a wallet address or device ID if relevant to the log). We protect these logs and only retain them for short periods unless needed for security analysis.

C. Information from Third Parties: At this stage, we do not collect personal information from third-party sources about our users. Because we do not have user accounts tied to real-world identity, there is generally no external data to pull. In the future, if you utilize certain integrations (for example, if a third-party on-ramp requires identity verification), that data goes directly to the third-party and not through walllet’s systems. We might receive a confirmation from such a provider (e.g., “KYC completed” flag) but we do not receive the underlying personal details, as further explained in Section 6.

Similarly, if you follow us or interact on social media or community platforms (Twitter, Discord, etc.), we may see your public profile or username on those services, but we do not incorporate that into walllet’s system.

Blockchain Data: Note that your blockchain public address and transactions are, by definition, public information on the blockchain. walllet may read and display data from public blockchains on your behalf – for example, to show your wallet balance, token holdings, or transaction history within the app. This blockchain data (wallet addresses, transaction hashes, token IDs, etc.) is not “personal data” in the traditional sense (it is pseudonymous and publicly available). However, if such data could be linked to you, it might be considered personal data under some data protection laws. We treat wallet addresses as sensitive pseudonymous identifiers. We do not combine them with off-chain personal info to identify you. Any processing of on-chain data is only to provide the Service to you (like showing your own transactions) or to improve features (like detecting spam token airdrops for security).

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information collected for the following purposes, in line with applicable legal bases:

  • To Provide the Core Service: We process technical and usage data to deliver walllet’s functionality to you. For example, your device data and public wallet address are used to connect you to the appropriate blockchain node providers (e.g., Alchemy) to fetch your balances and send your transactions. If you initiate a blockchain transaction through walllet, we use necessary information (your account address, the transaction details) to facilitate that request via our Services. Essentially, without processing some device and blockchain info, we cannot provide a functioning wallet service. This processing is based on fulfilling our contractual obligation to you (the Terms of Service).

  • Security and Fraud Prevention: We may use certain data (like IP region or device characteristics) to enhance the security of the Service. For instance, we might detect suspicious activity (like a high volume of failed transactions or an attempt to use our API in an abusive manner) and use logs to investigate or prevent malicious actions. Also, to comply with international sanctions and legal requirements, we might use IP-derived region data to block access from certain prohibited jurisdictions (though we do not store that data long-term). Our goal is to minimize personal data usage while still protecting the network and users. Security-related processing is based on our legitimate interest in maintaining a safe platform and complying with laws.

  • Service Improvement and Analytics (consent-based in applicable regions): We use analytics and attribution tools—such as Google Analytics 4 (GA4), PostHog, and, where used, AppsFlyer web attribution—to understand feature usage, measure performance, improve UX, and combat fraud/abuse. We configure GA4 with IP masking enabled and rely on aggregated and/or pseudonymized reporting. In EEA/UK, non-essential analytics/attribution only run after you opt in via our cookie banner. Where permissible, our legal basis is legitimate interests in improving and securing the Service.

  • Customer Support: If you reach out to us with a question or issue, we will use any contact information and details you provided to respond. For example, if you email support, we use your email to reply and the content of your message to troubleshoot and assist. Support communications may be stored (including via third-party support tools like Intercom or email services) so we have context on your issue and can follow up appropriately. We keep support data confidential and only accessible to authorized personnel. Using your info for support is based on your consent (implied by you contacting us and expecting a reply) or on our legitimate interest in providing effective customer service.

  • Transaction Facilitation: When you use walllet to initiate a transaction, we will process the necessary data to connect you to the third-party service. In these cases, we act mainly as a pass-through or facilitator and do not store the personal data you may give to those services, except as needed to link the service to your app (e.g., a reference ID to return you to walllet once the third-party process is done). We use your data in this context simply to enable the features you request.

  • Legal Compliance: Although we do not collect much personal data, we may process and retain information as required by law or regulation. For example, if we were obligated to retain certain logs for a period due to financial regulations, or to comply with a law enforcement request, we would do so. Additionally, we might use data to enforce our Terms of Service (e.g., investigating misuse or fraud). Processing for compliance is based on legal obligations or our legitimate interest in enforcing our rights.

  • Communications: We presently do not send marketing communications (and we don’t have emails for most users). If in the future you opt into a newsletter or updates, we would use your provided contact to send you relevant news about walllet. You will have the ability to opt-out. Transactional or service messages (like important security alerts or policy updates) may be sent if needed to the contact information you provided (if any).

We do not use your data for any kind of automated profiling or decision-making that has legal or significant effects on you. We also do not sell your personal data to third parties.

3. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Our website uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to provide and improve the Services, as detailed in our Cookie Policy. When you visit walllet.com, we may place a small amount of data on your browser in the form of cookies. Some cookies are essential for the site to function (e.g., to remember your cookie preferences or enable core features). Other cookies are optional, such as analytics or marketing cookies. We will request your consent for non-essential cookies where required by law.

Types of Cookies Used:

  • Essential Cookies: These are necessary for the website’s core functionality and cannot be turned off in our system. For example, they may be used to load the site balance data or to remember that you have logged in (if applicable). They do not store personally identifiable information and are typically session-based.

  • Analytics Cookies: We use these to understand how visitors engage with our site, so we can enhance user experience. For instance, Google Analytics cookies allow us to count visits, see traffic sources, and understand which pages are most popular. The data collected is aggregated and anonymized; we cannot directly identify you from analytics cookies. These cookies are only placed if you consent (via the cookie banner settings). If you opt out, your site visit will not be included in our analytics.

  • Functionality Cookies: These cookies enable enhanced features and personalization on the site. For example, if our site has a feature to remember your preferences (like language selection or dark mode), a cookie may store that choice. They may be set by us or third-party providers whose services we’ve added. Disabling these may affect site functionality or your user experience.

  • Advertising/Tracking Cookies:Currently, walllet does not run third-party ads on our site. However, if in future we engage in any marketing or partner programs, certain cookies might be used to track referrals or to provide relevant advertising on other platforms. These would track browsing habits to build an interest profile. As of the latest update, we have no such cookies active. If we introduce them, we will update our Cookie Policy and obtain appropriate consent.

For more details, please refer to our Cookie Policy section below (or the separate Cookie Policy document). It provides information on what cookies we use and why, and how you can manage your preferences.

Do-Not-Track Signals: Our website currently does not respond to “DNT” or “Do Not Track” browser signals, as there is no industry standard for these signals. However, we provide you control over cookies via our cookie consent tool.

Mobile App Tracking: The walllet mobile app does not use third-party advertising SDKs. It may use analytics/attribution SDKs—such as Google Analytics for Firebase/GA4, PostHog (where used), and the AppsFlyer SDK—for product analytics, performance, and anti-fraud. On iOS we request permission where required (e.g., App Tracking Transparency for access to IDFA), and on Android we respect the device’s “Opt out of Ads Personalization.”

4. How We Share Your Information

PrimeUp LTD treats user data with care and does not sell or rent your personal information to third parties. We share information only in the following circumstances:

  • Service Providers: We use reputable third-party companies to facilitate our Services – for example, cloud hosting (AWS), blockchain node providers (Alchemy), Account abstraction contract, Paymaster and bundler provider (ZeroDev), Analytics and attribution services (Google Analytics 4, PostHog, and AppsFlyer), customer support platforms (Intercom), and others mentioned in our specs. These third parties may process certain data on our behalf as “data processors.” We only share with them the information necessary for them to perform their function. For instance, our cloud hosting will inevitably handle any data that passes through our app/website servers; our analytics provider will receive usage data and possibly your IP in the course of providing analytics. Each of these providers is bound by contract to protect your data and to use it only for the purpose of providing their services to us. Where feasible, we enable privacy-friendly settings (like IP anonymization in Google Analytics). A list of key subprocessors includes:

  • Amazon Web Services (AWS): Hosts our infrastructure and databases. Data stored on AWS could include server logs and any information you input on our site. AWS adheres to high security standards.

  • PostHog (Product Analytics): Processes pseudonymized usage events (e.g., feature usage) to help us improve UX and performance; runs subject to consent where required.

  • AppsFlyer (Attribution & Anti-Fraud): Where used for web/app attribution, processes install/referral and device identifiers (e.g., IDFA/GAID) subject to platform settings and consent where required.

  • Blockchain API Providers (e.g., Alchemy, Moralis): When the app queries blockchain data or submits a transaction, it may communicate with a third-party node provider. These providers might log requests for performance and abuse monitoring, which could incidentally include your IP or wallet address. Such data is generally used to provide the service (node connectivity) and troubleshoot. They do not get personal info like name or user accounts from us.

  • ZeroDev (Account Abstraction service): If walllet uses ZeroDev for bundling transactions or sponsoring gas fees, certain transaction data will pass through ZeroDev’s systems. They may log transactions or addresses for security and analytics. We ensure no extra personal data is attached to those requests beyond what’s needed (essentially blockchain transaction metadata).

  • Intercom (Customer Support and Chat): If you use a support chat or provide feedback in-app, Intercom might process your messages and any contact info you provide. Intercom will also gather basic device info to provide context (like app version, OS) and possibly assign you an anonymous identifier. They act as our processor to manage support tickets.

  • CoinMarketCap API: If we fetch token prices, your app might directly request price data from CoinMarketCap or via our servers. This typically doesn’t involve personal data, but the API provider may see your app’s request (with IP) to their service. They use it for rate limiting and performance.

We take care to only integrate with service providers that have strong privacy and security commitments. Where required by law (e.g., for European users), we execute appropriate Data Processing Agreements (DPAs) or Standard Contractual Clauses with these providers to ensure your data is protected in compliance with GDPR and other regulations.

  • Third-Party Services You Use via walllet: As noted, if you explicitly use a feature that relies on a third party (like on-ramp KYC or a specific dApp), then you are choosing to share data with that third party. For example, if you initiate an on-ramp purchase, you will likely be prompted by the provider (say, Transak or similar) to enter personal information for KYC. That information does not go through our servers; it goes directly to the provider via their widget or site. In such cases, the third party’s privacy policy applies to the data you give them. We do not receive your KYC details – at most, we might get a confirmation that you passed verification or a transaction confirmation. Another example: if you connect your wallet to a third-party dApp through our app’s browser, any data you provide to that dApp (like signing a message with your wallet address) is between you and that dApp. We facilitate the connection but do not intercept or store the data exchanged. However, note that by virtue of connecting, the dApp will see your wallet public address and any info you provide to it. Always review third-party terms and privacy notices when engaging. walllet’s role is simply intermediary in those interactions, not a controller of the data you share with third parties.

  • Affiliates: PrimeUp LTD may share data with its affiliates (for instance, if we establish subsidiaries or related entities in other jurisdictions) for business and operational purposes. Any affiliate will uphold the same privacy protections as outlined in this Policy. For example, if we have a support team operating under a related company, they might access support tickets to assist you. All affiliates are bound to protect your data to the same degree.

  • Legal and Compliance: We may disclose information about you if required to do so by law or legal process, or if we have a good faith belief that such disclosure is reasonably necessary to (i) comply with a legal obligation (e.g., a subpoena, court order, or regulatory demand), (ii) enforce our Terms of Service or other agreements, (iii) address fraud, security, or technical issues, or (iv) protect our rights, property, and safety or that of our users or the public. We will aim to notify you of requests for your data (for example, a law enforcement request) unless we are legally prohibited from doing so. Keep in mind, however, our ability to disclose is limited by the fact we have very little personal data in most cases. If authorities asked us for user information, often we would have nothing beyond possibly an IP log or transaction hash, since we typically don’t collect identity info.

  • Business Transfers: In the event that PrimeUp LTD or walllet is involved in a merger, acquisition, financing due diligence, reorganization, bankruptcy, receivership, sale of assets, or transition of service to another provider, your data may be transferred as part of that transaction. We would ensure the acquiring entity or new provider is bound by terms that are at least as protective of your privacy as this Policy. You would be notified via the app or website of any change in data handling ownership. For example, if another company acquires walllet, the user information (however limited) we have would likely be one of the transferred assets, but the commitments of this Policy would continue to apply to your data (unless you’re notified of changes and given a chance to opt-out or delete your data).

  • With Your Consent: In scenarios not covered above, we will ask for your consent before sharing your personal data with third parties. For instance, if we ever want to publish a user testimonial or share your feedback publicly with attribution, we’d seek your explicit permission.

Importantly, because walllet is designed with privacy in mind, we do not share data for marketing purposes with third-party advertisers. We do not engage in cross-site tracking of users. Any sharing is primarily functional (to run the service) or protective (to comply with law or security needs).

5. International Data Transfers

PrimeUp LTD is based in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and our users are global. The data we collect will likely be processed in several countries, including outside of the European Economic Area (EEA) or your home country. For example, our main servers might be hosted in data centers in the European Union or United States (AWS regions), and our support team might operate in UAE or another country. Additionally, some of our service providers are in the US (e.g., US-based analytics or support tools). This means your information may be transferred to and stored on servers in a country different from where you reside, which may have data protection rules that are different (and potentially less stringent) than your country.

However, we take steps to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your personal data in line with this Policy and applicable law. These include:

  • European Union Users: If you are in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, and we transfer personal data to countries not deemed “adequate” by the European Commission (such as the US), we rely on approved transfer mechanisms like the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) or the UK International Data Transfer Agreement, as applicable. These contractual obligations require our service providers to handle EEA personal data in compliance with EU data protection standards. We also assess, on a case-by-case basis, whether additional technical or organizational measures are needed to ensure equivalent protection. For instance, when possible we use encryption and pseudonymization to protect data during transfer.

  • Other Regions: For users in other regions with cross-border data transfer requirements (like Brazil or Canada), we similarly ensure compliance with local law by implementing necessary contractual and security measures.

By using walllet, you understand that your information may be transferred to our facilities and to those third parties with whom we share it as described in this Policy, which may be located in other jurisdictions. We will strive to protect your data regardless of where it is processed.

If you have questions about international data transfers or want more information about the safeguards in place, you can contact us (see Section 11).

6. Third-Party Services and Links

walllet integrates or allows access to third-party services (as described earlier). Whenever you leave our app or website to use a third-party service, or if you provide data directly to a third-party within our app (like an embedded web view for a dApp), their privacy policy governs the handling of that data. We do not control how third parties use your information, so we encourage you to review their privacy notices. Here are a few relevant scenarios:

  • Analytics and Tracking: We use Google Analytics on our website; Google may set cookies and collect usage data (possibly including IP, though we enable anonymization when possible). Google’s use of the data is governed by the Google Analytics terms and Google’s privacy policy. We only see aggregated results. You can opt-out of Google Analytics by using browser opt-out tools or adjusting cookie settings. Similarly, if we use an analytics SDK in the app (like Firebase Analytics or Amplitude), those providers might process data – they typically have their own privacy commitments and do not use data except to provide analytics to us.

  • ZeroDev / Blockchain Providers: If transaction bundling or gas sponsoring is done via a service like ZeroDev, your transaction data passes through them. They might have their own logging and data policy, but those interactions mainly involve your public blockchain data and are done to execute your requested transaction. They do not get personal info like your name from walllet, only the transaction content. Nonetheless, using the service implies acceptance of their terms (if any). We act as a technical intermediary and do not hand them additional personal data.

  • External Links: Our site and communications may include links to external websites (for example, a link to our community forum, blog, or documentation on another domain). If you follow these links, this Policy no longer applies, and whatever data you provide or is collected by that external site is subject to their policies. We are not responsible for the content or data practices of external sites.

Social Media and Community: We maintain a presence on social media platforms like Twitter (X) and communities like Discord or Telegram. If you engage with us on those platforms, any information you share is visible to others and subject to the privacy rules of those platforms. We do not import your social media data into walllet’s systems (unless you explicitly give it for a support issue). If you mention us or tag us, we might use that feedback internally to improve, but we won’t publish or share your handle or content outside those platforms without permission.

To summarize, third-party integrations are an integral part of walllet’s ecosystem (that’s the nature of a wallet that interacts with blockchain and other services). We do our best to ensure your data is protected and only necessary data is exchanged. However, you should always exercise caution and read third-party privacy policies when using external services through walllet. We are happy to provide more information on specific integrations upon request.

7. Your Rights and Choices

Depending on your jurisdiction and applicable data protection laws, you may have certain rights regarding your personal data. We are committed to honoring those rights. Below is a summary of rights that may be available (primarily focusing on the EU GDPR rights, which are similar in some other countries). Please note that these rights apply to “personal data” we hold. In walllet’s case, because we keep minimal personal data, some rights might be less applicable (for example, if we cannot link any data to you as an individual, fulfilling a data access request might not yield much). Nonetheless, we address each:

  • Right of Access: You have the right to request that we provide you with a copy of the personal data we hold about you, and to information about how we process it. This is often called a Subject Access Request. We will provide the data in a commonly used format, and explain the categories of data, purposes of processing, and any parties it’s been shared with. Given our service design, you might find that aside from maybe an email (if you contacted support) or some device logs, we have very little identifying info on you. Regardless, we will search our systems by the information you provide (e.g., your email or device ID) to gather what exists.

  • Right to Rectification: If you believe that any personal data we have about you is incorrect or incomplete, you have the right to request that we correct it. For example, if you provided an email and you want to update it, or if a record is wrong. We’ll make corrections as needed. However, since we don’t maintain user profiles, this is rarely an issue.

  • Right to Deletion (Erasure): You can request that we delete the personal data we hold about you. This is sometimes known as the “right to be forgotten.” We will honor such requests to the extent required by law. For walllet, if you want to be “forgotten,” we would delete contact info (like support emails) and purge any logs that could be linked to you. Note that we cannot delete public blockchain data (obviously, that is on the blockchain), but that data isn’t stored by us off-chain in personal form. Also, if you used an on-ramp through a third party, you’d have to request deletion from that third party separately. We may retain certain information if necessary for legal obligations or legitimate interests (for example, we might need to keep a record of a support request resolution to defend against future disputes, or retain logs for security for a short period), but we’ll inform you if so. In general, our aim is to permanently delete or anonymize your data upon request. Deleting the app from your device does not automatically notify us, since we often don’t know who you are; if you want us to remove any residual data, please contact us.

  • Right to Restrict Processing: In certain circumstances, you can ask us to restrict (pause) processing of your data. For instance, if you contest the accuracy of data or the lawfulness of processing, we can mark it as restricted until resolved. Given our minimal processing, this right might be exercised by, say, opting out of analytics (which restricts us from processing your usage data beyond core service). We respect such choices via our cookie settings and other opt-outs.

  • Right to Object: You have the right to object to processing of your data in some cases, particularly if we’re processing it under legitimate interests. For example, you can object to using your data for direct marketing (note: we currently do no direct marketing). If you object to any analytics or other processing, let us know – if it’s not something you can self-manage (like disabling cookies), we will stop processing your data for that purpose unless we have compelling legitimate grounds to continue.

  • Right to Data Portability: You can request a copy of your personal data in a machine-readable format, and/or for us to transmit it to another service where technically feasible. Honestly, because we don’t have a user account with profile data, there’s not much to port. The most “portable” data is likely your support history or similar. Blockchain data is already portable by nature (your wallet addresses can be used in other wallets freely). Still, if you need a structured export of whatever data we have, we will provide it in CSV/JSON or similar formats.

  • Right to Withdraw Consent: In scenarios where we rely on your consent to process data (e.g., for optional cookies or a newsletter), you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal will not affect the lawfulness of any processing we did based on consent before withdrawal. For example, if you gave consent for analytics cookies but later change your mind, you can update your cookie preferences (via our website footer “Cookie Preferences” link) and we will stop analytics tracking going forward. For the mobile app, if we ever prompt for a permission or data use (like sending diagnostic data) and you consent, you can disable it later in settings.

  • Right not to be subject to Automated Decisions: walllet does not engage in any fully automated decision-making (without human involvement) that produces legal or similarly significant effects on users. Therefore, this right is not applicable in our context. Rest assured, no AI or algorithm is making determinations about you individually in our system.

To exercise any of your rights, please contact us at [email protected] with your request. We may need to verify your identity to process certain requests (for example, if you’re asking for deletion of an email we have on file, contacting us from that email helps verify, but we might ask for additional info if needed). We will respond to requests within the timeframe required by law (typically within 30 days for GDPR, with extension if necessary). There is no fee for making a request, unless it is manifestly unfounded or excessive, in which case we may charge a reasonable fee or refuse.

If you are in the EEA/UK and have concerns about our handling of your personal data, you have the right to lodge a complaint with your local Data Protection Authority. For example, in the UK it’s the ICO, in France the CNIL, etc. We encourage you, however, to contact us first so we can try to resolve your issue directly. We take privacy seriously and will do our best to address any problems.

8. Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, as outlined in this Policy, and to comply with applicable legal or regulatory obligations. Given our limited data collection, our retention practices are as follows:

  • Account-related data: Since walllet doesn’t have traditional accounts, we have no ongoing profile to retain. If you provided an email for communication, we keep that communication history as long as needed to address your inquiry or maintain a support record. For instance, an email you sent to support might be retained in our support inbox for future reference (so if you email again, we have context). We will periodically review and purge old support tickets that are no longer needed. If you want your support emails deleted sooner, you can request that, and we will scrub or anonymize them in our systems unless required to keep them.

  • Technical logs: Our server logs that contain IP addresses and usage events are generally kept for a short duration, typically 30 days or less, unless needed longer for security. We implement rolling deletion of logs – e.g., logs older than 30 days are automatically deleted – to limit storage of potentially identifying info. Some security-related logs (for instance, logs of important system events or errors) might be kept up to 90 days for forensic purposes, but these are protected and only used if investigating incidents.

  • Analytics data: Data in Google Analytics or similar systems is usually kept in aggregate form. Google Analytics retains user-level data (associated with cookies or device identifiers) for a set period (we configure it to the shortest practical period, e.g., 14 months or less). After that, it’s deleted automatically. Aggregated reports (which have no personal identifiers) may be kept indefinitely. If you opt out of analytics, new data won’t be collected.

  • Blockchain data caching: Sometimes, to improve performance, the app or our backend might cache certain blockchain data (like the list of tokens in your wallet or recent transactions). These caches are usually short-term and tied to your wallet address, not your identity. Cache data might be stored for convenience but is not personal data. Regardless, caches are regularly refreshed and old data removed.

  • Cookies: Cookies have varying lifespans. Some (like session cookies) expire when you close your browser, others (like a preference cookie or Google Analytics cookie) may persist for months or a couple of years. Our Cookie Policy outlines cookie durations. You can clear cookies at any time via your browser, which effectively ‘deletes’ that data from our site’s perspective.

  • Legal retention: If we are required by law to retain certain data for a specified period, we will do so. For example, if financial regulations require retention of transaction records or if we must keep records for tax or accounting purposes. Again, because we don’t have user financial accounts, this is minimal. Possibly, if we ever have to retain data related to sanctions compliance (e.g., blocking a certain region), we might keep evidence of compliance. Also, if involved in a legal dispute, we may retain relevant info until it is resolved.

When we no longer have a legitimate need to process your personal data, we will delete, anonymize, or isolate it (so that it is removed from active use). For instance, if you withdraw consent for an optional feature that stored some data, we will delete that data. If you delete walllet and do not interact with us again, over time any residual data (like support chats or analytics) will age out and be removed per our routines.

9. Data Security

We employ a range of administrative, technical, and physical security measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Security is a top priority for a wallet application. Key measures include:

  • Encryption: All network communications between walllet (app or website) and our servers or third-party APIs are encrypted via HTTPS/TLS. This prevents eavesdropping on data in transit. Additionally, sensitive data at rest is encrypted where appropriate. For example, if any personal data were stored in our database, we use encryption at rest on our cloud storage. Your private keys and passkeys are always encrypted and stored on your device’s secure storage (like the Secure Enclave or Android Keystore) – they never touch our servers in unencrypted form (indeed, they never touch our servers at all).

  • Access Controls: Within our organization, access to systems that contain any user data is limited to authorized personnel who need it to perform their job (principle of least privilege). For example, only a couple of key engineers/devops can access the server logs, and support staff can access support tickets. All access is protected by strong authentication (e.g., multi-factor authentication) and logged for auditing. We train our team about data security and privacy best practices.

  • Secure Development: We follow secure coding practices and conduct code reviews. The smart contracts and application code underlying walllet are audited for security issues. We keep our software dependencies updated to patch security vulnerabilities. We may also run a bug bounty or engage external security testers to find any weaknesses.

  • Network and Infrastructure Security: Our servers are hosted in secure facilities (like AWS data centers) that have robust physical security. We use firewalls and network segmentation to protect our environment. Services are configured with security in mind (e.g., restricting inbound access, using private networks for internal communication, etc.). We monitor for intrusions or anomalies in our infrastructure.

  • Third-Party Security: We vet the security of third-party providers we use. For example, we choose providers with a strong security reputation and compliance certifications (AWS has numerous security certifications, Intercom and Google Analytics similarly have enterprise-grade security). We ensure through contracts or assessments that these providers will protect data to high standards.

  • Incident Response: We have a process in place to handle any data security incidents. If we detect a breach or unauthorized access affecting personal data, we will investigate promptly and take appropriate action, including notifying users or authorities as required by law. We aim for transparency in such events.

Despite all measures, it’s important to note that no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. Cryptocurrency and blockchain introduce additional security considerations. For instance, if your device is compromised by malware, an attacker might misuse your wallet regardless of our server security. We cannot guarantee absolute security, but we strive to protect data to the best of our ability.

User Responsibilities: Security is also a shared responsibility. We urge you to take steps to protect yourself: use strong device passwords, keep your device OS updated, do not install untrusted apps that could log keystrokes or screen data, and never share your passkey or allow others to add their biometrics to your device if you wouldn’t trust them with your wallet. Be cautious of phishing attempts; walllet will never ask for your private key or passphrase. If you suspect any unauthorized access to your walllet or your device, please contact us immediately. We will assist you in understanding if any of our systems were involved or if further action is needed.

10. Children’s Privacy

walllet is not directed to children under the age of 18, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. Our Services are intended for adult use (or at least the age of majority in your jurisdiction) given the financial nature of cryptocurrency transactions. If you are under 18, you should not use walllet or provide any information to us. We cannot prevent minors from accessing blockchain technology, but our Terms of Service explicitly disallow underage use without parental consent (and even then, the parent would have to supervise usage).

If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected personal data from a child under 13 (or applicable age threshold), we will take steps to delete such information as soon as possible. For example, if a 12-year-old emailed support and gave their name/age, we would remove that data once we realize the age. If you are a parent or guardian and you believe your child under 13 (or under 16 in certain regions) has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can investigate and delete any such data.

Note: This section is about personal data collection. The nature of blockchain is that anyone of any age could generate a wallet and do transactions, and that pseudonymous activity would appear in our app if the phrase is imported or passkey used. We have no realistic way to know the age of a wallet holder unless they explicitly tell us. So this Policy focuses on not knowingly collecting or storing data about minors. Parents should be aware if a minor is using any crypto apps and should educate them on risks; we disclaim responsibility for unauthorized minor usage.

11. Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technologies, legal requirements, or other factors. When we make changes, we will update the “Last Updated” date at the top of this Policy. If the changes are significant, we will provide a more prominent notice (such as on our website homepage or via an in-app notification) to inform you of the updates. We encourage you to review this Policy periodically to stay informed about how we are protecting your information.

Your continued use of walllet after any modifications to this Policy will signify your acceptance of the revised terms, to the extent permitted by law. If you do not agree with any changes, you should discontinue using the Services and can request us to delete your data.
